burglary anxiety

My neighbor was robbed last night, while I was at home watching tv. I can't seem to stop the what if's, to the point where I see myself as the robber. What if I did it? I know I didn't, but my anxiety is really taking off on this one. I remember we were robbed when I was little, so maybe that's why I am overreacting. Little ones at home to protect also increase my anxiety. Is this normal to think what if I did it? Any advise appreciated. I keep thinking of the Tylenol example, and it helps. My OCD is really in hyperalert.

Sepearte yourself from the thought by telling yourself its just a thought and it can't hurt you. Its just a thought.
